This is my first time using Arduino. (Arduino NANO)
I'm working on a project where I have two sets of traffic lights (6 LEDs), that recreate the real life sequence when a button is pressed (think a pedestrian crossing button). I need to add a photoresistor in order to dim all of the LED's dim when the photoresistor is covered.
Here is my code and my attempt to add a photoresistor to dim the LED's. Before I added the code relating to the photoresistor, the sequence is normal, but when I add the code, the lights stay the same brightness and the orange light doesn't turn on.
int greenLed = 5;
int orangeLed = 4;
int redLed = 3;
int pushButton = 7;
int readPushbutton = 0;
int ldr;
int bri;
void setup()
{
pinMode(A0, INPUT);
pinMode(greenLed, OUTPUT);
pinMode(orangeLed, OUTPUT);
pinMode(redLed, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(greenLed, LOW);
digitalWrite(orangeLed, LOW);
digitalWrite(redLed, LOW);
pinMode(pushButton, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
ldr = analogRead(A0);
bri = map(ldr, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
int readPushbutton = digitalRead(pushButton);
if (readPushbutton == 0) {
analogWrite(greenLed, bri);
digitalWrite(orangeLed, LOW);
digitalWrite(redLed, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
else if (readPushbutton == 1){
Serial.println("PEDESTRIAN WAITING");
digitalWrite(greenLed,LOW);
analogWrite(orangeLed, bri);
digitalWrite(redLed, LOW);
delay(2000);
digitalWrite(greenLed,LOW);
digitalWrite(orangeLed,LOW);
analogWrite(redLed,bri);
Serial.println("PEDESTRIAN CROSSING");
delay(30000);
}
}
